Sounds odd - what exact methods are you talking about?

Any methods involving "programming" and teaching you to mask effects of any bad experiences via self-affirmation.

I don't know the exact names of the methods, but they essentially train to push these bad experiences deeper and pretend that they didn't happen or affect you in the first place.

However, they both happened and affected the person. Pretending not is dangerous akin ignoring a wound with infection.
